You may have problems finding some online church records for Oxfordshire as I think familysearch (Church of the Latter Day Saints) were refused permission to film them. I believe someone now has the contract to digitise them.

William Wixon was baptized, 5th March 1843, to Thomas & Jane Wixon of Kingston
This would be Kingston Blount.
Thomas Wixon(Widower) of Kingston, son of Richard, married Jane Eels(spinster), lace maker daughter of John Eeles of Tetsworth. 19th Oct 1839 @ Aston Rowant. by Banns.
Witnesses - Samuel Ditton & Elizabeth Ditton.

Burial from same source.
3 Nov 1844 - Thomas Wixon, aged 28 of Kingston. @ Aston Rowant.
EDIT: Thomas Wixon was baptised 8th Oct 1815 @ Aston Rowant, Son of Richard & Elizabeth Wixon, of Kingston.
If you have further problems going further back, you may need to consider the surname of RIXON.
